tickadoo-mcp: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

tickadoo-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from tickadoo/tickadoo-mcp. It costs 1,790 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A developer guide for tickadoo’s MCP server, which lets AI assistants search, browse, recommend, and book travel experiences. It explains the repository, its remote-server design, and how different chats coordinate work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when maintaining the npm package, tracing how tools and results are provided, coordinating work across chats, or writing task prompts for the project.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand that the package mainly forwards requests to the central service, so changes belong in the right place.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: the file is CLAUDE.md. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code.

This is tickadoo/tickadoo-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on tickadoo-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything tickadoo-mcp configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tickadoo-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

@AGENTS.md

CLAUDE.md — tickadoo-mcp

This file is read automatically by Claude Code at session start. Lightweight project doc; defers to AGENTS.md for the shared AI-agent coordination conventions and to the HowardOS repo (github.com/tickadoo/howardCLAUDE.md) for the broader tickadoo project context (architecture, deploy workflows, environment variables, supplier integrations, team, Slack IDs, etc.).

What is this repo?

@tickadoo/mcp-server — the npm distribution of the public tickadoo MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It surfaces 23 tools over 13,090 products in 681 cities to AI agents (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc.) so they can search, browse, recommend, and book tickadoo experiences on behalf of end users. Installed by clients from the MCP Marketplace / npm, or used directly over Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.tickadoo.com/mcp.

Since v2.0.0 this package is a thin remote bridge (GRO-573): the npm command is a stdio transport that proxies to the canonical remote server. It no longer defines tools, formats catalogue data, or calls a backend directly. The remote owns the tool list, schemas, results, and errors. The remote MCP server (and the embeddable widget bundle) now live in the HowardOS repo (github.com/tickadoo/howard), which is canonical (GRO-574).

Agent-intelligence layer (served by the remote): search tools carry _best_picks, _price_tiers, _group_summary, _conversation_starters, _available_filters, _related_searches, _next_step; details tools carry _booking_urgency, _cross_sell, _intent_token, _accessibility.

Architecture at a glance

  • Runtime: TypeScript stdio bridge
    • src/index.tssrc/bridge.ts — local stdio transport (shipped on npm as @tickadoo/mcp-server) that proxies tools/list, tools/call, resources/list, resources/read, and ping to the remote.
    • src/config.ts — bridge config (remote URL via TICKADOO_MCP_URL, log level via TICKADOO_LOG_LEVEL).
  • Canonical remote: https://mcp.tickadoo.com/mcp — served and deployed from the howard repo, not this one. This repo does not deploy a Cloudflare Worker.
  • Build: npm run builddist/index.js (esbuild bundle for stdio/npm).
  • Registry metadata: server.json is refreshed from the live remote via npm run sync:server-json.
  • Skills (skills/*/SKILL.md, PR #96): 7 skills for Agent Plugins clients and the OpenAI Plugin Directory (a plugin = our MCP server + optional Skills for complex workflows) — the tickadoo-experiences discovery skill (mirrored to .claude/skills/; keep the two copies in sync) plus 6 workflow skills (plan-a-trip, family-day-out, tonight-and-last-minute, date-night, compare-before-you-book, near-a-landmark). Ground every tool reference in server.json; frontmatter name must match the folder. BAC-779 adds them to the npm published file set and verifies the exact tarball; OpenAI still snapshots uploaded or MCP-imported skills during its Platform submission flow.
  • Testing: vitest (npm test); LIVE=1 npm test runs the optional live integration test against the remote.
  • No API key required. Customer never sees supplier names; everything is presented as tickadoo.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
